Erdogan’s Turkey is rounding up gay and trans people in mass raids, and the arbiters of LGBT rights in the west are yet again silent, because Erdogan supports Hamas.
The term “useful idiot” has never been more apt than it is for the Queers for Palestine crowd.
Un terroriste palestinien avoue ce que lui et son père ont fait à une femme israélienne le 7 octobre :
« Mon père l’a violée, puis moi, puis mon cousin. Ensuite nous sommes partis, mais mon père a tué la femme après que nous ayons terminé de la violer. »
Friends, I’m truly sorry for sharing so much heartbreaking news from inside Iran, but I have to do this so that the international community can understand and see the crimes and oppression that the regime is inflicting on us. Follow me so my voice can reach more people.
October 7. We do not forget.
At 7:07 that morning, a call came into Israel Police. On the line were Michael Idan, 9, and his sister Amalia, 6, from Kfar Aza.
Their first sentence was:
“We are children, but that’s because our parents are both dead.”
They were hiding in a closet in the safe room. Their father, Roi, had been murdered. Their mother, Smadar, was lying beside them. They did not know that their little sister, Abigail, three years old, had been taken into Gaza.
Everyone is talking about how painfully realistic FAUDA Season 5 feels. For me, it was different. Not because it felt intense, but because I know reality was worse.
I filmed this in the first days after October 7. What I saw with my own eyes was darker.
It’s strange to realize Russia is at war with Ukraine, KSA is at war with Yemen but Iran is at war with its own citizens…
No foreign force has killed so many Iranians as the Islamic republic has.
Fuck the Islamic republic!
One thing Fauda left out: the second wave on October 7.
Thousands of Gazan civilians followed Hamas into Israel - looting, kidnapping, raping and murdering Israelis. In cases, their brutality was even worse than Hamas.
That part of October 7 must not be erased.
This is not a scene from a movie. This is October 7.
This is 4-year-old Negev and his six-month-old brother, Eshel.
The terrorists rocking Eshel in the stroller and holding Negev by the hand had just murdered their mother, Adi.
Negev later said:
"Bad people came into our house with drills and drilled through the whole house. They wanted to drill Eshel, but Mom wouldn’t let them. She told us to remember that she loved us more than anything in the world. And then she left."
The terrorists placed grenades around Adi’s body and left her as bait inside one of the rooms. They tied another grenade to the door handle, so whoever came looking for her would be killed too.
Then they filmed a propaganda video to show how "good" they were. They gave wounded Negev water and filmed him saying thank you in Arabic.
They had just murdered his mother in front of him.
Imagine that.
Moments later, they took Negev and Eshel to a neighbor’s house. From there, the terrorists kidnapped all three and headed toward Gaza.
On the way, Eshel cried nonstop. His crying bothered the terrorists, who thought he would become a problem later on, so they left all three by the side of the road and continued toward Gaza.
They walked back to Kibbutz Holit and survived.
The truth cannot be erased.
Don't you dare forget.
Há um ano, em Setembro de 2025, Portugal reconheceu o Estado da Palestina. Com essa decisão, posicionou-se em Junho de 2026 para ser eleito por 134 votos para o Conselho de Segurança da ONU em 2027-2028. Hoje, decorreu a primeira visita oficial com a ministra palestiniana Varsen Aghabekian Shahin e foi anunciada uma comissão conjunta para ‘aprofundar a cooperação’ em educação, saúde e agricultura, com memorandos sobre consultas políticas e formação de diplomatas.
No meio de tanto discurso sobre ‘paz justa e duradoura’ e da solução de dois Estados como ‘única garantia de coexistência e prosperidade’, há um silêncio embaraçoso. Ninguém menciona o desarmamento do Hamas. Ninguém pergunta como se constrói um Estado ao lado de Israel enquanto o movimento que controla Gaza continua armado. Ninguém menciona o detalhe inconveniente de que empregados da UNRWA, a agência da ONU para os refugiados palestinianos, foram identificados como operacionais do Hamas e, em vários casos, como participantes no massacre de 7 de Outubro. Investigações posteriores, incluindo do inspector-geral da USAID, alargaram o leque para mais de uma centena de funcionários com ligações ao Hamas ou ao ataque.
Não há almoços grátis. Muito menos eleições para lugares-chave internacionais. Enquanto outros países doadores suspenderam ou cortaram o financiamento, Portugal continuou a financiar a UNRWA. A diplomacia prefere o vocabulário da ‘cooperação prática’ ao da responsabilidade. Rangel insiste na solução de dois Estados. Shahin fala de autodeterminação, independência e Estado. Discursos ocos onde falta sempre a outra metade da equação — grande parte da política palestiniana, a começar pelo Hamas, cuja carta e declarações sucessivas recusam legitimar a existência de Israel, não aceita um Estado judeu de todo. A Autoridade Palestiniana assinou Oslo, Gaza e o Hamas não. Falar de dois Estados sem exigir o reconhecimento mútuo e o fim das armas é absurdo.
Entretanto, o contribuinte português continua a pagar a fatura. Desde o 7 de Outubro, o cheque foi assinado com regularidade, pagámos cerca de 24 milhões de euros para a resposta humanitária em Gaza e na Cisjordânia e 17 milhões para a UNRWA, agora acrescidos de mais 250 mil euros para o fundo de reconstrução. A comissão conjunta é o próximo capítulo.
Enquanto brincam aos cargos e cheques, o desarmamento do Hamas, o prestar de contas da ONU e o reconhecimento de Israel, as questões vitais, são convenientemente adiadas.
